Do you want things to get better or do you want to make things get better?
Progress, growth, and true vitality have always required a tax, paid upfront in the currency of effort and discomfort.

How quickly do you recover from disturbance?

That's one measure of adaptability.

Some people experience frustration, disappointment or uncertainty... then recover and move forward.

Others remain caught in the disturbance long after the event has passed.

The difference isn't willpower.

Often, it's awareness.

Adaptability isn't something you're simply born with.

It's something you can develop.

That's one of the aims of The Awareness Project.

A practical seven-session course in developing awareness.

Begins 3 September.

Feedback in response to questions about the “Awareness Project” meditation course
Just in one are ,,,,Ignorance
There are nine separate forms of ignorance. For this post we’re focusing on just 3.
Here we stay inside the psychological & Cognitive frame of ignorance

Wilful Ignorance: A deliberate decision to avoid looking at facts to escape moral or legal responsibility.

Meta-ignorance: Being completely unaware of what you do not know (ignorance of one's own ignorance).

Rational Ignorance: Choosing not to acquire knowledge because the cost of learning it outweighs the benefits

So, overcoming psychological and cognitive ignorance directly disrupts and helps dissipate the pathways into maladaptive behaviours.
One of the three areas of our upcoming course “the awareness project” involves developing expanded sensory and cognitive awareness creates new neural and mental pathways that allow individuals to break free from cycles of maladaptive thinking.
When you expand these two specific domains, you are actively increasing your brain's "cognitive flexibility." This allows you to perceive more choices in moments of stress, shifting your brain out of its automated, self-destructive survival loops.

Please note: The Awareness Project is not therapy, nor is it intended to replace therapy. It is an educational course that brings together traditional awareness practices from yoga with ideas from contemporary psychology to help people better understand their own patterns of attention, perception, and behaviour.
This is the first trial of the course and your out of pockets will be $140 for the full 7 sessions.

Comfort or Development?

Most of us are not lacking information.

We know what we should do.
We know what helps us grow.
We know the habits that hold us back.

The challenge is not knowing.

The challenge is becoming aware enough to choose.

Comfort gives us what feels good now.

Development gives us something deeper:
more clarity,
more resilience,
more understanding,
and a greater ability to respond to life.

The Awareness Project is a 7-week journey into understanding your own mind, your patterns, your attention, and the choices that shape who you become.

Not about becoming someone else.

About becoming more aware of who you already are.

Starting 3rd September.
Limited places available.

Message us to learn more.

If you wanted to know why higher awareness training is so important:

In the upcoming "Awareness Project" you will learn the yogic insight about how and why human suffering is not only caused by lack of information. It is caused by a distorted relationship with experience.

you can help

We're not sure how to advertise our new Awareness Course. Maybe you can help.

We've discovered that awareness is surprisingly difficult to explain because it's something you experience more than something you're told.

So here's our question:

What would make you curious enough to spend seven weeks learning how your own mind works?

Read the comments. Add your own answer.

And if you'd like to experience it instead of talking about it, our next course begins on 3 September.

Twelve places. Five already filled.

# # What if becoming a better version of yourself doesn't begin with trying harder?

Most advice about change sounds familiar:

**Make a decision.
Be disciplined.
Stay motivated.
Just do it.**

Sometimes that works.

And when it doesn't, we often blame ourselves.

But what if the problem isn't that you lack willpower?

What if you haven't yet developed enough awareness to clearly see **what is actually happening inside you**?

A thought appears.

A feeling changes your perception.

An old pattern influences a decision.

A desire pulls you forward.

A fear quietly pulls you back.

And often, all of this happens before you are even aware that a choice is being made.

The **Awareness Project** is a progressive seven-session course designed to explore this process.

Across the course, we develop awareness of:

• attention
• sensory experience
• distraction
• thought patterns
• habits
• emotions
• identity
• perspective
• choice
• relationships
• authenticity

The course combines traditional awareness practices with modern psychological perspectives to develop a practical skill:

# # # Adaptable Authenticity

The ability to remain genuinely yourself while adapting intelligently to different people, circumstances, and challenges.

This is **not** a course about forcing yourself to become someone else.

It is not about pretending to be positive.

It is not about demanding more discipline from yourself.

It is about developing the ability to observe your own patterns clearly enough that you can begin to choose more consciously.

The first five sessions build the foundations for the final two, so this is a progressive course rather than a casual drop-in event.

**The Awareness Project may not be for you if you are looking for another program that tells you what to do.**

But if you are curious about how your own mind, body, habits, emotions, and perceptions shape the person you become...
..this may be worth exploring.

**The Awareness Project begins 3 September.**

Places are limited to 12 participants.

The first five sessions run for approximately 90 minutes. The final two may extend to approximately 120 minutes.

If you are interested, send me a message or contact me to reserve your place.

**You may not need to force yourself to change.**

**You may first need to become aware of what is already changing you.**

Can you solve riddles?

Until you juggle, you think it's about keeping the balls in the air. It's not its about throwing and catching.

Our new 7-week trial meditation class is starting on the 3rd of Sept. There are limited places, and the course is not for everyone.
